Might be a new owner soon.

Hi guys. I've been getting some info from Ahmed (TOPRPM) and if everything works out, I'll be a proud owner of a 850HP GTR running with Greddy TT (all on pump gas) I'm shooting for March since the winter should be over here in the US. If everything goes as planned and I decide to go through, I'll be heading to Dubai, UAE. Anyhow, I wanted to ask some of you if you can do me a favor and post THE BEST looking skyline GTR you have ever seen. I am attaching a pic of my favorite. Also, how do you guys think a 850HP GTR on pump gas would do against a heavily modified street supra? It is somewhat a vague question, but I'm just interested in what kind of meat I will be able to eat


BTW, that's not me in the picture.

hmmmm a 850hp skyline. lets say if a stock 320hp skyline can do 0-60 in 4.7 secs. and quater miles in low 13's to high 12's. then i guess something was 1.5 times the horse power will pretty much kill any Italian exotic, and kill any supra, since they have a hard to puttin power to the ground, plus theire trannys aren't up to that kind of punishment. sooo the only things that you would be worried about would be the old school american muscles from before the 70's. since they don't need to pass any emissions test.

[Mariusz]

True.

Come on guys. How about a sweet pic or two. I know there have to be sick skyline kits out there.

I think its the same car... Motorex Blackbird. I think that one has just been stickered, and HRE wheels applied..


BTW good luck with the car... its my dream! How much are you paying for it?

[Bean Bandit]

1st HAve fun with that car
2nd I don't think there's a stock car you'll had to be afraid of
but be aware of some sick tuners they may have built something but sure not legal:bandit:

[Mariusz]

b-b00gie, all I can say is...SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET.


I am waiting for a response from Ahmed in regards to the pricing. THat will be the big "deciding" factor for me. I'll keep ya informed.

[b-b00gie]

Will it be cheaper than going through Motorex?

[Mariusz]

Cheaper than through motorex? Let's just say it should be like getting the car for free compared to motorex. They have some sickening and ridiculous pricing. 92K for a new GTR? What?!?!??!? That's without any performance mods.

[SkylineDreamz]

Hey thats cool, i love it when people get new skylines....more pictures for me to look at and dream about! More power to ya man

[Mariusz]

Thanks man.

[SKYLINE_95]

GOOOOOOOD luck

on your next 850hp SKYLINE

and don't forget to send us some pics of the SKYLINE & you .

[UK GTR OWNER]

Just be careful.

Many Dubai cars are stolen from Japan, which is why they are so cheap.

You might buy the car and find a year later a man arrives from a Japanese Insurance Company with proof of original ownership and bye-bye you've lost your car. It has happened many times to UK owners who bought 'cheap' GTRs from or via the Middle East.

This is not BS. I just don't want you US guys to get burnt by the same tricks that hit the English market when we started with GTRs.

Ask for the original Japanese documentation and the de-registration certificate and auction sheet or dealer invoice.

See the following BBC news item:

Good luck

UK Owner.

But is it going to be legal, and if so, then how come these guys arent giving direct and fierce competition to MotoRex? How did they get it legal? How much are we talking about? And if this isnt a deal like UK Owner described, where can I get one?

To bad that will have to stay in the middle east

I thought you could import them but only for use as drag/SCCA/other sorts of race cars?
